IMPORTANT NOTES - PLEASE READ BEFORE BUYING:

  • Image might not be accurate: It is fairly likely that the image might be of a different book cover as often publishers reuse the same barcode on multiple covers. Sometimes the AI also takes photos that look like real photos not stock images, but these are not of the book you will receive. This is particularly true of older books, more recently published books are more likely to be the same cover.
  • Item specifics might not be accurate:The description sometimes contains inaccuracies about book edition (such as saying it is a first edition when it might not be), year of publication, etc.
  • This is a secondhand book, check the condition: Please check condition description for which type. Very good means minimal wear and tear. Good means it could be a well read copy with creases, etc. Acceptable might include water damage, writing throughout, multiple big stains etc. Please only buy a condition you would be happy with, for instance if you want a book that might be giftable only very good condition would be ok for this.
  • Please note the book is unlikely to be signed even if the photos or description indicate it is. Do not buy this book on that basis.

Product Overview

A funny, rhyming picture book about the importance of tolerance and kindess,
from the bestselling and award-winning author and illustrator, Ross
Collins.When a small, friendly platypus arrives at the zoo, the animals assume
he has come about the vacancy and are all keen to interview him. But the
chameleons dismiss him as too bland, the flamingos protest that he's not
graceful enough and, despite his best efforts, poor Playtpus will never
impress the monkeys. No one wants him and so Platypus turns and leaves. The
animals swiftly regret being so unkind, but . . . what's this? The platypus
has left an invitation! He had actually come to the zoo to invite them all to
his party! But the platypus has a big heart and, with all forgiven and
forgotten, he quickly welcomes his new zoo friends to a fantastic party on his
PlatyBus!A perfect bedtime story that combines comic misunderstandings with a
touching message about acceptance and belonging."There's a touch of Tim
Minchin about Collins . . . his tone is funny but heartfelt and a little bit
rock'n'roll" – GuardianFrom the award-winning creator of There's a Bear on My
Chair, winner of the Amnesty CILIP Honour 2016 and shortlisted for the Kate
